Top Fifty Favorite Albums of 2004 - Pt. 1

I know, I know, I've been quite the slacker in 2005. Don't tell me about it - I'm struggling with simple New Year "goals" (I just can't call 'em "resolutions" - it's a word I don't like ... like "crotch"). Well, this year I will be listing my Top Fifty Records, but I will only be giving a review for those that make the Top Ten. Oh come on! I apologize, but that's no reason to call me names! Simmer down. OK, it goes like this: name of band/musician, album title, and Album Quantifier Model (AQM) Score. The AQM is based on a 0 to 100 score with a perfect record scoring the magical and pretty 100. So here we go:
